Re: Walking weekend in Yorkshire 2019

Hi all walkers Some of you have been kind enough to let me know of the approximate time you will be arriving at Elsecar train station on the Friday . However there is still quite a few who haven’t !

Re: Walking weekend in Yorkshire 2019

Not sure Wybe but as we have 24 hour drinking in the UK and it is a hotel I am sure there will be some flexibility around closing time especially on the Sunday night when we are in a private room .

Re: Walking weekend in Yorkshire 2019

This is very welcome on our part because it means we can have someone waiting for the train to taxi them to the hotel . If everybody was of a mind to do that we would be very grate...

Re: Walking weekend in Yorkshire 2019

Although time will be limited due to the walking and trips out I still think it’s worth reminding the more active among you that there is a spa and pool where you can keep up your fitness regime so don’t forget your swimming costumes and gym wear . Personally I prefer to do my exercises in the bar !

Re: Walking weekend in Yorkshire 2019

Whichever way you choose to purchase your ticket once you arrive at Sheffield you will have to catch a different train to Elsecar . The trains are every 30 minutes and run from platform 4a ( please check that but I think I am correct ) the journey lasts approx 15 minutes . Once you arrive at Elsecar...
